sheet that was filed against the rioters last month.
His arrest came after he was called in for questioning by the
Crime Branch Monday. He will be produced in the court on Tuesday.
Raza is one of the organisers who organised the a rally to protest
violence against Muslims in Assam and Myanmar at south Mumbai's
Azad Maidan.
So far, police has arrested 64 people in the case out of which
five people were released after they were found innocent, while 45
were granted bail.
"Raza will also be charged with the same sections as other
accused," another official said.
According to police sources, while seeking permission, Raza had
claimed that the event would be peaceful and there would only be
1,000 participants. However, there were over 50,000 participants
who flouted law and order norms.
All accused have been booked under Indian Penal Code sections
pertaining to murder, attempt to murder, molestation, physical
attacks on police and public, damage to public and private
properties, theft of government weapons, unlawful assembly and
other charges.
